Are all Honda Pilots AWD?

I am in the market for a new vehicle and am considering buying a Honda Pilot, but I do not know whether the model is AWD or FWD. All-wheel drive is a big factor for me, so I’d like to ask—are all Honda Pilots AWD?

No, not all Honda Pilots are AWD—or rather, all-wheel drive is not standard across all seven of the current Honda Pilot submodels, but it is available for all seven trim levels.
Only the Honda Pilot Black Edition and the Honda Pilot Elite come standard with AWD, but the other five trim levels—Touring SUV, EX-L SUV, Sport SUV, TrailSport, and Special Edition—can be fitted with AWD if desired.
If you are buying an older Honda Pilot submodel—such as the EX or LX—the same reasoning applies: AWD is not the standard drive-type, but it is available.
It is also worth noting that some earlier model Special Edition (SE) Honda Pilots cannot be outfitted with an AWD system, but they come standard with 4WD, which is comparable.
Regardless of whether your new vehicle uses FWD, 4WD, or AWD, you’ll want to make sure you’re protected by the right
